Angela Mi Young Hur '02 said stereotyping at parties is common. She said she is accustomed to hearing such questions as, "So you work for Chinatown at [Philips Brooks House]? Take a language at Vanserg?"

She said dating is hard enough without the added worries she feels are part of interracial dating.

"Why does he like me? Is it because I'm his Jasmine flower?" Hur asks. "I totally support if they are genuinely interested in your culture, but genuinely interested in your culture and genuinely interested in you, there's a line between that."

On the other hand, William Lung-Fu "Lonnie" Everson '02 discussed the stereotypes of Asian-American males.

"Asian guys are on a roll, but they're still a long way off from building a positive image," he said.
